This thing looks better and better on every viewing. So hard to make a decision on paint.

Not the best looking wheels, but definitely much better than the other LC500 wheels. The others are hideous imo.

Those are the 20" forged that come with the Touring package, arguably the worst of the lot. Not the 21"s that come with the other (Sport and Performance) packages. But ya, Lexus has a real problem when it comes to wheels on all their vehicles. I got the Performance package, but likely will be changing the wheels asap. The 21" forged are decent design, but a little to shiny for my tastes. The cast wheels are decent looking, just a wee bit too small and/orheavy.


• 20" Cast (standard)


• 20" Forged (touring package)


• 21" Forged (sport and performance packages)

Why not have the 21's shot with a satin/matte clear coat? Might be a game changer...

Saw one in NYC yesterday. Hybrid, Nightfall Mica. Beautiful from every angle, except for the wheels.

It was at a light so I couldn't get a closer look.

What did you think of the color itself please? I'm thinking Nightfall Mica, or Smoky Granite/Quartz Mica for us...

I like it since our CX-9 is midnight blue. It looked really good in daylight. I just don't think the shiny wheels looked that good though.

We have nightfall mica blue on our LX. I love the color. Freshly washed and under direct sunlight is absolutely stunning. I would only imagine it would be equally as beautiful on the LC.
